Ian George Court was opened in 2004 — with the aid of government funding and fund raising by the Archbishop’s Appeal.
Ian George Court was a pioneer in providing high quality services to 40 socially and financially disadvantaged residents who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. The facility provides for special needs residents and has a fine record of achievement with many outstanding results due to the professionalism and dedication of the staff.
The facility provides a safe, flexible and caring environment which allows residents to maintain their chosen lifestyles and activities. We encourage residents to be as independent as they are able to be.
A range of services are available and are tailored to meet the needs of each individual resident.
Beside the regular services provided under the Aged Care act, Ian George Court provides programs to help with smoking reduction, managed alcohol programs and support with integration into the wider community.
Lifestyle
Residents are encouraged to take part in a range of activities – from swimming to craftwork. We work with them to take up new activities, or to reconnect with things they have enjoyed in the past.
A chaplain is on site every week and conducts regular services and provides pastoral care to residents, their families, staff and volunteers. Residents have particularly enjoyed connection with the local Anglican parish at Woodville.
Admission
To become a resident of Ian George Court, you have to require both support and care — not just accommodation. Residents must be assessed by the government’s Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) prior to entry. All admissions are made through the Exceptional Needs Unit.
